The course Media Literacy is the basis for students to critically examine topics that play a role in current public discourse. The aim is to create a critical autonomy in the field of media use. The students deal both with the question of the orientation of correct action and with its analysis.
The interdependencies between journalism, marketing, media and society are examined in detail.
